LSU

By -
I really wanted to take SG to see LSU's campus and visit Mike the tiger.    Of course, Mike was lounging when we went to visit, but he did raise his head up to look at us.  He sure is a big tiger!

SG thought it was more fun to sit on this bronze statue of Mike!  Charlie was tucked into the Ergo quite happily.

The oaks at LSU are so gorgeous and I sometimes miss walking out of Audubon through the quad and seeing them.  

Aaron and I were both quite excited to go to the Chime's for lunch and enjoy their seafood pasta.  SG was a little more excited to have ice cream!

That afternoon we had some visitors to our hotel.  Uncle Steve came by to see us and visit for a bit.  

Nikki came by while SG was napping and that gave us a chance to really catch up.  I really enjoyed those few hours with my cousin and appreciate Aaron staying with SG while she slept so that I could visit.

Like most girls her age, Sarah Graves LOVES Frozen and has known for quite some time that she wanted a Frozen birthday party. I was so excited when I saw this invitation on Etsy and she loved it too! It reminded me of an infographic. The Frozen theme was a lot of fun! There were so many things to choose from that I took to pinterest and eventually decided on the ideas that I would use for this party. I found this great Arendelle banner here on Pinterest I was so grateful that my sister did a snowflake Christmas and had tons of snowflake ornaments to hang as decorations! This party theme was a lot of fun to plan the food. Kristoff's ice cubes were made from Jell-o with an ombre effect. I found the recipe here on Pinterest. I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Cloth vs. Disposable

By -
We have mostly been planning to do disposable diapers because I felt that cloth would just be too much work when I go back to work.  Then, we saw these diapers called happy heiny's ( www.happyheinys.com ).  These looked much different than what I envisioned cloth diapers to look like.  Mom used cloth diapers with me and Jeanne', so she felt totally up for using them while Sarah Graves is at her house.  I started looking into the cost comparison and depending on what type of cloth diapers you buy, you can save anywhere from $1200 - $1700.  That is pretty attractive, not to mention knowing that you aren't filling up a landfill somewhere.  There are lots of different varieties of cloth diapers out there, but the ones that seem to be a good investment and user friendly are diapers that have snap closures, with a pocket for an insert to absorb the contents, and they are one size that adjusts as your baby grows from a newborn up to 35 pounds.  You can also purchase the traditio
